OL Archive info not found

I am working on my father's computer at his work to find an email he sent out
earlier last year. The problem is when i go to his archive folder nothing is
there, but if you look in his default .pst file there is nothing in there
older than 6 months. Is there something i am missing, my dad said he ran
some registry repair program on his computer a couple of months back. Could
that redirect where his archive info is being stored, i have searched for
every .pst file on his computer and looked through it for these emails and
cannot find them. Any suggestions would be great.

Using a registry repair app is an easy way to trash a PC, but having said
that its unlikely to have affected data files
By nothing in the Archive does that mean literally nothing, no mail?
If you check the archive settings does that point to the archive you have
opened?
You searched for *.pst to include hidden files? ie the search detected your
current *.pst?

There is a few emails but they date back to 2005 and 2006... There are
calendar entries from the missing time periods, but there is no emails from
those times. Yes, i am opening the correct archive folder.
